In first 10 days, Apple iPad online usage share approaches BlackBerry, Android

invisibleSHIELD case for iPad“In its first 10 days, Apple’s iPad has captured almost as much online usage share as the BlackBerry or Google’s Android operating system, a Web metrics firm said,” Gregg Keizer reports for IDG News Service.

“According to data from Aliso Viejo, Calif.-based NetApplications.com, the iPad’s share has averaged 0.03% since April 3, the day Apple started selling the media tablet,” Keizer reports. “Research In Motion’s BlackBerry, for example, had a usage share of 0.04% for the month of March. Android, meanwhile, accounted for the same figure, split evenly between Android 1.5 and Android 1.6, NetApplications said.”

Keizer reports, “But the iPad can’t hold a candle to Apple’s older mobile siblings. By NetApplications’ count, Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch devices have a combined share of 0.6%, about 20 times larger than the iPad’s.”

  1. “Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch devices have a combined share of 0.6%, about 20 times larger than the iPad’s.”

    That’s because the iPhone was released in 2007 and the iPad was released about a week & 1/2 ago.

    Wake the hell up, Gregg. Dumbass.
